It breaks my heart to part with this item because my lolita "big sister" made it for me in 2009 but it's so ill-fitting on me, I cannot wear this anymore.

The story of this dress is, when I first got into lolita in 2009 most of the available resources and examples online were old-school, so seeing the general idea I got this 80s vintage grandma looking sleeve dress, gave it to my lolita mentor and she transformed it into a JSK. I think it's very cute for what it is, but of course it has quite a bit of goofs which I will detail in the description since we were just two teenagers at the time.

I provide a picture of it worn so you can visualize it coorded with a petti because it's difficult to imagine on a hanger. This was made for my 16 year old body and I have *clearly* outgrown it, so do not take the fit and the warping into account in these pictures, that's exactly why I'm selling it.

I will understand if no one is interested but since people are more accepting of "loliable" and pre-brand / proto looking pieces from the time when people made do to get the look with what they had, I thought I could rehome this to a more petite person. It has that charm and would honestly still rock this if it fit me.

GENERAL INFO

• FLAT measurements: 40cm chest x 25-40cm elasticated waist x 87cm full length. It is stretchy.
• 50% polyester, 50% bayor
  
• If you are not under my measurements I do not recommend you getting this dress, it's too short and the waist elastic will feel a bit tight, plus the bust warps as you can see in the pictures. I am 168 height, 92cm bust. I used to be way under that when this dress was made and that's the size I recommend.
• It has no lining and it's pretty thin.
• Waist is elasticated.
• The lace is soft, not scratchy.
• Comes with a waist ribbon which goes through little loops at the sides and ties at the back.
  
• Buttons are decorative. No zipper, you have to slip it on.
• I recommend a low poof / A line petti to get the silhouette. It will not fit a huge one but it also looks bad without one so use low poof.
• I live with smokers but my dresses are kept away from any smoke. I DO OWN A PET NOW! I adopted a dog recently and so he's never been in contact with these clothes but in case of allergies, please note it.
  
• Super easy to wash and won't wrinkle, it's good for a daily lolita.
